Charles Stephen Marvin ’37

Body

Music producer Steve Marvin died Mar. 8, 1995. He is survived by nieces Alexandra H. Mead and Michele H. Nazou and nephew John W. Herter. Sister Virginia Hecter Voorhees and brother Alexander predeceased him.

At Groton, Steve was on the football ream, was baseball manager, and was a member of the Groton Board, the Athletic Assn., and the choir. At Princeton, he majored in English, graduating with honors, and was a member of the Triangle Club and Rousseau Society. He wrote many solo songs for the Triangle Club and also collaborated with Bill Borden, his roommate, and Frank Taplin.

He started off as TV director at CBS before a three-and-a-half-year hitch in the Coast Guard. In the Coast Guard, he worked his way up from apprentice seaman to lieutenant and participated in the Philippines liberation campaign. He returned to CBS TV, and in 1949, he also taught at the School of Radio Technicians in N.Y.C.

By 1952, he was directing the Voice of Firestone at NBC and by 1957 was in the travel business. By 1968, he was with Bill Borden, producing record­ings at Monmouth Evergreen Records, and running three Laundromats, in Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan. Our sympathies go to the family.
